THE REFUGE

We follow a resourceful little boy: he is astute and enthusiastic, and does not hesitate to ask each person he meets something, an object, a piece of advice. As a result, a shelter is built; a refuge as well as a mirror of the diversity of individuals who helped him to construct it.
A soft, colourful and generous picture book, a beautiful thought on welcoming and altruism.
Géraldine Alibeu, highly interested in the cruelly relevant issue of refugees, refers to this subject with subtlety and tenderness.
